What is the water source? City, well, ect. 450 is pretty hard. If you have a water quality report I can direct you a bit better.
Think the meter is junk

Question is vague but.....
If you in soil then add about 350ppms to the water for small plants and go up from there as you enter different stages of growth. You need microbes to buffer all of it though / in soil. and you would do more watering then feeding as you dont want your soil to get too hot as well. Feed water water feed. You can do it but the microbes is the key to doing it right.
If your in hydro then you should look at an R/O system or you will need to learn it or deal with it and I mean the results you get from it being too hot , you will probably get a ton of deficiencies trying to keep the ppms low.

If your water is that rich you should either get an RO filter or have the water analyzed to see whats in it. Likely a lot of calcium and possibly magnesium. Then feed can be adjusted accordingly. For example if lots of calcium you simply add epsom salt for magnesium instead of using calmag.

is it distilled or RO water? or spring water? distilled/RO should be 0 or very close.
